These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.

Harlem Shuffle

The Rolling Stones unleashed the 'Dirty Work' album in 1986. Its lead single was "Harlem Shuffle". The disc went Top 10 in America, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Written by Bob Relf and Earl Nelson, the original version was released in 1963. The 2 composers issued it under their stage name Bob and Earl. Their disc peaked at #44 on both the US Pop and R&B Charts.

Each new song will be added to the
spotify playlist named: ‘Before It Was A Hit Song’. You can check out the previous earlier /
original versions of the hit songs you know and love.
